Therapies

Each individual is unique and each treatment is based on the individual need. I incorporate a range of styles – deep tissue massage, soft tissue release, trigger point work (enables muscles to function properly again), and stretching in order to target muscle dysfunction and aid the healing process. I work with my clients with the focus on improving their health through advice, such as stretching exercises and tips on how to treat yourself inbetween your sessions.
